Jeunghun Wang goes back-to-back with Mauritius Open victory

Jeunghun Wang benefitted from a Siddikur Rahman collapse to win the AfaAsia Bank Mauritius Open and claim back-to-back victories.

Wang, who won the Trophee Hassan in a play-off last Sunday, made a birdie at the 72nd hole to break a tie with Rahman, who had led by a couple of shots going into the final three holes.

The Bangladeshi, looking for a first win since the 2013 Indian Open, had proved easily the most consistent player of a testing week at the Four Seasons Resort Anahita until the 16th hole of his final round.

Wang and Rahman, playing together in the final group, had the tournament to themselves from some way out with Nicolas Colsaerts dropping five shots in his first five holes and Andrew Dodt carding three double bogeys in his first six.

Rahman birdied the fifth and sixth to extend his lead but Wang stayed just in touch with birdies at the ninth and 13th.

A dropped shot at 14 set Wang back, but Rahman's three-shot lead, which had rarely looked vulnerable, suddenly became one when he double bogeyed the 16th.

There was more trouble to come at the 17th where Rahman made a bogey to drop into a tie with Wang and leave the tournament wide open.

Both players missed the green with their approach shots to the par-five hole, but Wang played a delightful bunker shot and Rahman an excellent chip.

But Rahman's birdie putt was errant and Wang made the most of his chance by holing to move to six under and claim the €166,660 (£131,000) first prize.

"I can't believe that I've won two weeks in a row," Wang said. "I'm so excited right now and really happy that I have won.

"I probably had luck on my side today. I wasn't even thinking about winning this week until the 16th. I missed a lot of putts so I thought I didn't have any chance.

"I hit my second shot into the 18th well, but it just went off the green. I was just trying to make par, but I hit the bunker shot close and gave myself an easy putt for a birdie. It was fantastic.

"I hope I can win three in a row, but next week [the Irish Open] is a really big tournament and it's my first time in Ireland, so I'm not sure. I'll be trying my best."

Siddikur added: "Well, it was good until the 16th, but unfortunately I don't know what happened. I went out of bounds with the first shot.

"I gave my best. It's part of the game. Maybe I'll have something good in the future. I was trying to hole that chip on the last for eagle. It was a good chip but the putt for birdie wasn't good. It wasn't my day. Before this week I was really struggling with my golf, so I'm really happy to finish second."

Colsaerts, attached to the resort as touring professional, finished in a tie for third alongside Argentina's Estanislao Goya with both players finishing the tournament on level par.

Dodt, who had led at the halfway stage, had to settle for fifth ahead of South Africa's Brandon Stone on a day when not a single player was able to break 70.
